Seeing her bruises broke my heart, and tears filled my eyes as I closed the distance between us, wrapping my arms around her. The warmth of her body against mine felt like a fragile lifeline, and I could feel her shaking as she sobbed into my shoulder. I couldn’t help but cry too, the weight of her pain pressing down on me like a heavy blanket.

At that moment, I felt like the villain. Laura was in so much pain, and here I was, still making her life difficult at work, pushing her down when she was already at her lowest. It gnawed at me, the realization that I was contributing to her suffering. More tears streamed down Laura’s face as she pleaded with me not to tell anyone, her voice trembling as she revealed her fear of Christian. But that was it; I wouldn’t let her live in fear any longer, and I wouldn’t allow him to hurt her.

I held Laura for as long as she needed, feeling her body slowly relax against mine as she continued sobbing letting out all the pain. It felt like the past agai

    She didn't want to leave him, and that realization weighed heavily in the air between us.I pulled back, my eyes locked onto hers, searching for any sign of hope. "You don’t want to leave him, do you?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Laura didn’t respond; instead, her eyes brimmed with tears, and I could see the turmoil churning within her. She was caught in a battle of emotions, and I felt the urgency of the moment pressing down on us. "You have to leave him, Laura," I urged, my heart racing.A single tear rolled down her cheek, a silent testament to her pain. Her eyes swelled further, and she struggled to speak, shaking her head in a desperate attempt to hold it together. After a long pause, she finally managed to say, "I’m sorry.""No." I interjected immediately "You have to leave him, Laura."She shook her head again, her voice trembling as she replied, "I can’t, Theo."

    ~ LAURA’S POVI wiped my tears as I walked out of Theo’s office, feeling the weight of everything pressing down on me. I had to leave immediately because I couldn’t hold it back any longer. The pain of watching him be in pain for me hurts and the feeling of him groaning and desperately telling me to leave Christian…. I can’t leave Christian. I’ve tried to break away so many times, but it’s like I’m tied to him in a way I can’t escape.I hurried to the restroom, splashing cold water on my face, trying to wash away the evidence of my tears. I took a moment to breathe, ensuring there were no more tears left to spill before stepping back out into the hallway. As I made my way to the ground floor of the building, I spotted Ariana playing with some toys, her laughter ringing out as the receptionist entertained her. Seeing Ariana’s bright smile warmed my heart, but I knew I couldn’t let her stay there for long, not after everything that had happened. The fact that Theo saw her bruise and no

    ~ THOE’S POVI’m really freaking out about Laura. I can’t concentrate on anything knowing that she’s hurt and still with the same man who hurt her. It just blows my mind that she’s still with him, after everything he’s done to her, she’s still with him. What does she even see in Christian? He doesn’t love her; if he truly did, he would never have laid a hand on her in the first place not to talk of lay hands on his daughter. Hitting Laura is one thing but hitting her and Ariana is just crazy, it can’t handle the thought of that. Honestly, I don’t care what Laura wants or what she says. There’s no way I will let her stay with a man like Christian. She deserves so much better than that, and he deserves the worst. I’m determined to make sure he gets what’s coming to him. It’s just infuriating to watch this happen without taking action on him. He has to suffer the consequences of his actions even if it’s not now, I will definitely make sure I do something for him.

All I know is that she’s the nicest heart I’ve ever known and the way she looks at me makes my heart swell up with joy. While that doesn’t explain her love for me, I have a tinge feeling that it does because I’ve known Tamara for decades but the past few days were just so different… her aura and everything about her is just amazing now and it feels like she and I are meant to be together.I glanced at my rearview mirror one last time, tr

When am I gonna play with my toys, Mommy?" Her voice tinged with impatience, and I could see her tiny brows furrowing.I couldn’t help but smile at her determination. "This is the last one, I promise. After this bite, you can go play with your toys."She sighed dramatically but eventually gave in, opening her mouth for the bite of the sandwich. "Now can I go?" she asked, her words slightly muffled as she chewed."Yes, but finish chewing the sandwich first," I reminded her, watching as she quickly turned and dashed toward the living room, excitement radiating from her.Ariana is absolutely in love with the toy the receptionist back at Theo’s office had given her. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her this excited about a toy before. I smiled at her innocence and headed to the kitchen to put the plate away.As I walked back to the r

I knew exactly why he was here, and while I'd been hoping for this moment, the reality of it made me feel restless and anxious."Let’s just say, your wish has been fulfilled," he replied, taking a step aside to reveal a couple who had just parked their car in front of my house. They looked to be in their late thirties, and the woman had a bright smile on her face as she waved enthusiastically at me.I couldn't help but wave back, though confusion clouded my expression.

    I’m not ready to let go. I just can’t let go of Ariana. I know it’s the right thing to do, but I can’t imagine my life without her; she’s all I’ve got. I’ve been having second thoughts about this whole situation, but deep down, I know this is what I’ve always wanted for her. She needs to have a normal childhood, far away from abuse and trauma, and I want her to live with parents who have no criminal records, who can give her the stability she deserves.

Losing her feels like losing my entire purpose in life, and that thought weighs heavily on me.I sighed heartily trying to push the thought of Ariana leaving out of my head as I started packing her things, I made sure to carefully place her favorite items on top. I want her to feel comforted when she opens her bag and sees the things that bring her joy. While I was packing, a knock on the door distracted me.

He’s truly one of a kind, and just being with him melts my heart in ways I never thought possible.As I lay there, I smile, watching him sleep peacefully, his chest rising and falling gently.

A soft moan slipped from my lips, the sensation electrifying as he lavished attention on me, sucking and teasing my nips with his tongue, sending waves of pleasure coursing through my body.
